I can imagine him one sunny afternoon playing with the garden water hose and the kids, and then an idea came to his mind, “Wait a second, I think I can make something more portable than this!”

What about that inventor from the movie, “A Flash of Genius”. All he needed was one very rainy day, desire and imagination to create the intermittent windshield wiper. It wasn’t a smooth ride, but he did it and he fought for it!

Every undertaking starts with an idea. Now to make that idea into a success, one has to work diligently on it to see its completion. It’ll be a superbly lucky day if we don’t encounter any bumps, but hey, who says it’ll be easy?

You have to have the passion, the drive, the determination to see it through.

So..."Why, oh why can't I?

I have this big dream and I can’t wait for it to happen. I have insecurities on how to go about it. I worry about the entire “what-ifs” scenario, but that just magnifies the rejection. So I have to focus on the positive and realize that someday, my dreams will come true.

Hi Jen!What a great post. I am getting ready to work on a book proposal this summer and so this hit me right where I live! It seems like such a big undertaking and there are no guarantees, but who knows? With God, anything is possible. I just have to quit procrastinating and get busy! ;0)Melindawww.parentingconfessions.com

This is very real for human beings. Why is it that we human beings are so full of insecurities. For example, I am doing my PhD. If I thought about it I would've never do it. This was a tough decision, my DH had to leave his job to seek one here. My son was 1.5 yo and didn't know the language. Plus PhD itself is uphill. But I close my eyes and said yes and it was the best yes ever, since my wedding! lol

Just close your eyes and keep dreaming... never let it stop! JUST DO IT! :)
